HACCP: Product description and intended use

Hi all,

I am working on a HACCP  implementation project for a catering industry and i am new to this. Could any one tell me if there is a specific template for the preliminary steps 2 and 3 i.e description of product and identify intended use?

Would anyone have an example of one I could have a look at? :D

Thank you :)

Here's a template for Intended end user... I'll have a look for product description later

Dear Charles.C,

Im working on HACCP implementation for a catering industry. Can i use the format you gave for the product description? and does the product description goes in the ANNEX section?

Thank you all for your help :)

I assume by "format" you mean the basic layout structure(s).

Generally IMEX there is no fixed format so the choice is more or less up to you although the form typically needs certain common items as in the examples posted in this thread. The full requirements may vary, eg with the actual product. So the answer to yr query is a qualified YES.

But do note that some organisations seem to have wider expectations. For example, if you download the model haccp manual in the link below, you will see a more intensive style of model product description form. This is atypical IMEX but Mauritius auditors  I have no experience. :smile:

Re -  location, in Codex haccp (as probably per yr OP)  this form typically = stages (2 + 3). In my HACCP Plan it goes at the beginning.

PS - You might consider posting yr draft version on the forum if you would like some free evaluation. :smile:

Fatimah,

Please see the attachment for HACCP Step 2 info and template. This will include the twelve steps in sequential order for a HACCP plan. Also, not included, remember there are 7 principles of critical control point analysis which I would like to have tattooed on my arm.

Charles,

Thank you for your precious help. Here in Mauritius we follow the Codex Alimentarius and i think that as long as we insert the product description,  its ''location'' does not matter. 
 

Once the draft version is ready i will post it here as suggested.

Thanks once again :)

Hi folks,

Does anyone know do you have to put nitrates and nitrites that are present in ingredient in Vulnerable groups for end user?

We produce pizzas and some of our toppings contain nitrates and nitrites. I have phosphates included for vulnerable groups that are not suitable for kidney disease sufferers.

Just don't know is there any scientific, 100% evidence that consumption of nitrates will cause cancer, heart disease or other.

Thanks for your help.
